Sprawl Angle in Simplified Models of Vertical Climbing: Implications for Robots and Roaches

Empirical data taken from fast climbing sprawled posture animals reveals the presence of strong lateral forces with significant pendulous swaying of the mass center trajectory in a manner captured by a recently proposed dynamical template [1, 2]. In this simulation study we explore the potential ben...
